Lynchad by q Mob.

CLARENDON, Ark, June Con Tuesday a
negro attempted to outrage Mrs. J. M.
Parks, the aunt of Sheriff Robinson. In
the struggle the lady's collar bone was
citement apparently subsidized through the
efforts of the Sheriff and the presence Of q
determined posse. 1t was, however. only
the calm before the storm, for last night an
armed masked mob of forty men marched to
the Jail, forced an entrance and secured the
object of their wrath. A rope was placed
around his neck, and while he piteously
howled and pleaded for mercy he was
dragged from his cell to tree In the court
yard. He acknowledged bis guilt in his
pleadings for mercy. A scornful laugh was
hisdeath knell, the rope was drawn up and
the mob quietly dispersed, satisfied that the
victim will participate in no more crime.

CARDINAL GIBBONS AND THE X. OF L.

He Refuses to Say Anything of His In
tended Action on the Labor Question.
NEW YORK, June 6.-Cardinal Gibbons
refuses to say anything of his intended
action on the labor question. Before Civ
ing his views to the public, he will call a
council of the eleven archbishops of the
American Catholic hierarchy, and decisive
steps will be taken which will leave no
doubt of the church's attitude.
From a close companion of the cardinal
q reporter received some intimation re-
gardiDg the forthcoming pronunciamento.
The right of laboring-men to combine for
their common benefit will be conceded,
and all such lawful combinations will re-
ceive the blessings of the church. But
Catholics viii be forbidden to take part in
boycotts, or other infringements OF the
rights of citizens, and they will be forbid
den to Join any organization which prac-
tices intimidation, whether OF violent or
other character. No Catholic will be
permitted to become a member of any
order which binds the members to SECRECY
or blind obedience to the dictates of leaders.
Secret passwords may be permitted, but a
Catholic must have no secret which can
not be reached by the confessional If nec-
essary. 1t will also be proposed that a
closer relation be brought about between
Catholic members of labor organizations
and the Catholic clergy. The object Of
this Is to prevent Catholic laboring men
from drifting off from the church on ao-
count Of their associations with Protest
ants, and to keep them from adopting
theories which are antagonistic to the
church's dogmas. The necessity of this
course has been demonstrated clearly OF
late by the number of Catholics who have
innocentiy, perhaps, taken up ideas which
the church frowns upon and will probably
condemn outright In the near future. It
will not be proposed, however. to make the
clergy meddlers in labor affairs. They will
merely be instructed to be vigilant, invite
confidence and counsel mscabers of their
flock who belong TO trade unions.
From the source mentioned above 1t was
also learned that Cardinal Gibbons posi-.

LoeAYsPoRT, Ind, June 6.-The Town
ship Trustees met at the Auditors Office to-
day to elect County superintendent. They
politically composed of eight Republicans
were and six Democrats. The Democrats,
expecting only to see that competent Re-
publican was selected, were simply on the
alert at first, but after the thirty second
ballot had been cast it was manifest that
the Republicans had no man out of their
eight aspirants that could get the majority
necessary to elect, although Mr.. A. II.
Douglass had received seven votes on two
different ballots, when they took twenty
minutes recess. The Democrats thus far
had been casting their votes mostly for
their choice of Republicans, but after re-
cess they thought to place their votes where
they would do the most good, and upon
the sixty-second ballot it stood seven for
Henry ClngeDpeel, Republican, and seven
for David d. Fickle, the present incum-
bent, for the past four years occupying the
Office, and a Democrat, when Auditor
Harry Torr, by virtue of his office, gave the
casting vote for Mr.. Fickle, thus securing
Democrat and very competent Super
intendent.

CONGRESS SEVERELY CRITICISED.
Report of the National Legislative Com

Report of the National Legislative Com
mittee Of the Knights of Labor.
WASHINGTON, June 6.-The National Leg
islatiVe Committee of the Knights of La
Dor have submitted to the General Execu-
tive Board a report of their labor during
the short session of the Forty-ninth Con-
gress. 1t is a long document, describ-
ing at length the measures that had
the support of the committee during the
session and criticising sharply the failure
of Congress TO pass number OF the bills
brought forward by the House Committee
on Labor
"The letter-carrier's eight-hour bill,
says the report, twas antagonized by Mr..
Springer in favor of q bill known as the
trade dollar bill-a bill in the interest of
spectators. The letter-carriers' bill would
have put into the pockets of the letter
carriers, in the shape of reduced hours OF
labor, so the fIPostofice Department
claimed, 81. $50, 600. The passase
of the trade dollar bill acta-
ally put into the pockets of
SPECTATORS 81, 600, 900, every dollar of which
was filched from the pockets of the poor by
the law which demonetized it. Tne steal
was seconded by a systematic boycott on
the part of the banking fraternity of the
country, which now, by the enactment Of
the present law, received their reward by
getting 100 cents on the dollar for that they
only paid so cents for"
AS to the Oklohoma bill, the committee
is of the opinion that il the measure had
been allowed to come to q vote it would
have had good majority in the House.
The report gives an account Of the many
attempts made by Representative Willis to
get the Blair educational bill before the
House, and continues:
"Mr. Willis introduced a resolution to
relieve the Committee on Education from
further consideration of the bill by priv
ileged question to amend the rules Of the
House, but he was ruled out of order by
the Speaker pro tempore, Mr.. Springer,
and in an underhanded manner,
in the opinion of the committee.
Mr.. Willis withdrew his motion with the
remark that be would renew it when the
regular Speaker was in the chair, which he
did on the 18th, only to be antagonized
by Mr.. Springer with POINTS of order. 1t
Is the opinion OF the friends of the meas.
ure that the Committee on Education was
packed against the bill by the Speaker"
The interstate commerce law next re-
ceives the attention of the committee, and
of il they say: For the past ten years
there has been introduced into Congress by
Representative Reagan, OF Texas, q bill
entitled "A Bill TO Regulate Interstate
Commerce. and IL became evident to the
railroad managers of the country that
from the growing demands of the
people the time had arrived when
such measure had to be passed. Realizing
this fact the railroad interest OF the country
set about to circumvent the Reagan bill,
which was simple law, that was easy OF

spring Crops Look Wen In monroe.

BLOOMINGTON, June 6.-Owing to the ex.
cellent condition of the weather, spring
crops are looking very fine. Corn is from
ten days to two weeks ahead of ordinary
seasons, is in excellent stand and will
insure an average crop.
Wheat is above an average and where
fertilizers were used is very heavy. The
acreage is above the average. Oats was late
starting, but with occasional showers will
be very heavy.
Irish potatoes are looking well, but there
is danger from the Colorado bug.
Grasses look tolerably well. Glover, last
years sowing, Is excellent, but two-year-
old meadows are not SO heavy.
Apples will be fair crop. Peaches,
where there are good trees. are full. All
small fruits are plentiful. Upon the whole,
the outlook for the farmer is good.

Cut.Worms and Corn.

NASHVILLE, June Charming operations
in Brown County are in state of forward
ness. Corn is planted and much of it is
up and ready for plowing, narrowing, etc.
The recent cool days and nights are giving
the cut-worms chance, and some damage
is being done by them. Oats and grass
will be rather short, owing to lack of rain.
Wheat in general is looking well and prom
ises an average crop. The straw will be
rather short, but the heads are of good
size, and if they fill well the crop will come
fully up to the average. Farm labor is
plentiful and wages fair.

miners somehow believe the advance will
be paid in some States, though not in
others. The advance in the price of coal to
the operators since the federation was or

hope.
